Shrek knows all the best dance moves.

I don't want to brag, but I'm going to anyway. These awesome Universal Kids Resort Team Members gave me a Shrek-endorsed Best Photographer pin this morning.

I visited Universal Kids Resort this morning. It had a different vibe from most weekdays, with bigger crowds and more energy. I'm not saying it was the weather that did it, but it was the first time in months the sun wasn't cranked up to 11. Link: diservations.com/cooler-weath...

The skies cooperated at Universal Kids Resort on Friday night. I'm not sure if it ever rained, but those storm clouds took the edge off another brutally hot day. Remember the forecast from a few days ago? Lies!

If the forecasts are correct, tomorrow might be the last 100-degree day of the year in North Texas. In 11 days, the high will be in the 80s. Baby steps, people.
